I'll be out of the shop from Friday, June 19 - Thursday, June 25 for a short summer break & birthday celebration with the family. I'll be back at it next Friday, June 26. Hope y'all have a great Father's Day weekend! Show those Dad's out there how much you love them!! See you soon.

P.s. I had the joy of meeting @steveozone1 yesterday. He stopped in for a haircut while visiting Fort Scott for a very cool photography project. It was a privilege to have my photo taken by him! I can't wait to see the work that comes out of his trip to our neck of the woods! Thanks for stopping in Steve!

In 2022 I made a photo book with the intention of having critical conversations about Asian American identity and masculinity, from a nuanced perspective, embracing the complexities of people speaking on being mixed race and transracial adoptees. At the time I could see the excitment of Asian American representation in media, after years of yellowface, limited, problematic characters, and outright erasure. However, the momentum quickly moved into similar trends of fetishization, colorism centering East Asian stories, and other concerning tropes.

Four years later my feed is filled with wasian content, a word placing white supremacy in front of countless identities and narratives, excluding mixed identities outside of a false binary. In 2026 we continue to retreat intellectually. What does white asian even mean? I proudly share that I am Chinese and Polish, as someone who celebrates both cultures in my life. I challenge those hyping Hudson Williams, Eileen Gu, and Alyssa Liu, who are all brilliant, to have deeper conversations, and to open up the affirmation beyond this limiting perspective. Challenge what you are actually celebrating and who you are leaving out of what could be opportunities to build across communities.

I’m absolutely open to all the smoke. Let’s talk about it.

Spring, coming to save us from the cruelest of winters. We're still scared and scarred, but surrounded by the most incredible beauty and people (some that honor me with friendship ❤️). Like spring, they illuminate hope and kindness. @simpson_housing

Picked up a copy of the April 2026 Mpls.St.Paul Magazine today — holding this moment in print, with a timely interview by Robyne Robinson.

Grateful for the art community that held me through Operation Metro Surge, and for the messages of care and solidarity that carried me as Operation Epic Fury unfolded — a reality that continues to reverberate back home. Some moments leave their trace in our faces, in ways words don’t quite reach.

Twin Cities friends — if you come across a copy, it’s only in print.
